A peculiar three-bedroom house, with the unexpected feature of a toilet beside its entrance, is set to go under the hammer, boasting an enticing starting bid of £57,500.

The Sunderland property's eccentric layout will greet visitors with a loo as soon as they cross the threshold.

Labelled as an "investment" prospect, the end-of-terrace property cries out for renovation, displaying a tired decor and weary interiors.

Luxury Property News outlines that this unique abode offers a fitted kitchen and dining area, a comfortable living room, alongside three compact bedrooms.

Furthermore, there is a bizarrely located "bathroom", consisting of a toilet by the entryway and a close-by bathtub.

The exterior could do with a makeover, particularly a fresh lick of paint.

Estate agents promote the "pretty decent" location, offering easy access to local amenities such as parks, shops, and schools.

The dwelling currently serves as a rental property, with rent recorded at £475 per month.
